I can't find any of the CD keys for my games, usually you right click it and go manage and you see CD keys but it isn't there anymore??

Are you sure the game even has one?
Is the game installed?

There aren't a lot of games that have CD keys...

The option was never available for all games, only for those that needed the key for additional launcher or in-game activation. For those it is still there, the same way it always was. Some games (like Uplay titles) had the option taken away, since the key is no longer needed for their launchers.

Yeah, I need the key from steam to link my account to this specific game.

Also games that I know have CD keys are also missing.

Is it a Uplay game?
If so, just delete Uplay, download the newest Uplay version, install it and start the game.

Its a flight simulator called IL-2 Sturmovik, I need the steam key to link my account I have created on their website. They even have a guide on linking the two.

This guide will help you to make the first steps in the IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad project - from key activation to first flight and aerial combat experience.


But I right click on the game, go manage and see no CD key option.

Did you actually go to the website for that game,and verify that this kind of account linking is still in use? They might have changed it since then...

It is still in use. They direct you to your Steam library and tell you to paste the CD key over. No CD keys available under Manage. Please help.

Nope it's not.

From their website. You now just execute the game through Steam and make the account through the game.
